PDQ 980 Door Protection Plate (Mop, Kick, Armor)
PDQ 980 Stainless Steel Door Protection Plates
PDQ 980 Series door protection plates protect the bottom of the door from scuffing caused by foot traffic or cleaning maintenance. They are made from 0.050" stainless steel and come in three types by height: mop plates up to 6" high, kick plates from 6" to 12" high, and armor plates up to 48" high.
Every plate receives a light bevel in a secondary process for a smooth edge, and mounts with standard oval head undercut screws that give a countersunk appearance. PDQ recommends protection plates for all doors, especially doors with a door closer.

PDQ 9800634630 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the difference between a mop plate, a kick plate and an armor plate?
Height is the only thing that separates them. On the PDQ 980 series, mop plates run up to 6 inches high and take the abuse from mops and cleaning carts, kick plates run 6 to 12 inches high for foot traffic, and armor plates go up to 48 inches high where carts, dollies or gurneys hit the door. If you are protecting against housekeeping equipment only, a 6 inch mop plate is enough; a corridor in a hospital or school loading area is where the 32 to 36 inch armor heights earn their place.
2) Do I need a kick plate on a door with a closer?
PDQ recommends protection plates on all doors, and specifically on doors fitted with a door closer. A closer pulls the door shut on its own, so occupants push through with a foot or a cart rather than a hand, and the bottom rail takes the hit. An 8 or 10 inch 980 kick plate on the push side is the usual answer for that condition.
3) Does the PDQ 980 plate come with mounting screws?
The 980 mounts with #6 x 5/8 inch oval head Phillips sheet metal screws, undercut so they sit with a countersunk appearance against the plate. That fastener is specified for the plate, and the length suits a standard hollow metal or wood door face. No adhesive mounting is involved.
4) How thick is the stainless on the PDQ 980 and will the edges cut hands?
The plate is 0.050 inch stainless steel, and every edge gets a light bevel in a secondary finishing operation, so there is no raw shear edge left exposed. That matters on armor heights in patient or student corridors where hands and carts contact the plate edge regularly.
5) What finishes does the PDQ 980 protection plate come in, and will 630 match my existing stainless hardware?
Three finishes: 630 satin stainless steel, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, and 622 flat black. 630 is the standard satin stainless used across commercial door hardware, so it reads as a match alongside 630 push plates, pulls and exit devices. If your building is standardized on dark bronze trim, 613E is the equivalent match, and 622 flat black is for painted or black-trim openings.
6) How do I order the right PDQ 980 plate, and is there a single part number?
Each height, width and finish combination carries its own PDQ number built from the series, the size and the finish code, for example 9800634630 for a 6 x 34 inch plate in 630 satin stainless. When ordering, specify height first, then width (34 or 35 inch), then finish (630, 613E or 622). The series designation on its own is 980.
7) Is the PDQ 980 suitable for commercial buildings or is it a residential plate?
It is a commercial-duty protection plate, 0.050 inch stainless steel in mop, kick and armor heights. The width options of 34 and 35 inches are sized to standard commercial 3-0 and 3-1 leaves, not to residential interior doors.
